Elon Musk's AI, rocket and satellite company is days away from a stock market debut that could become the largest IPO in history and, in an unusual departure from convention, a sizeable portion of those shares has been reserved for individual investors.

The IPO, scheduled for Friday 12 June, is expected to price shares at $135 apiece, giving SpaceX a valuation of roughly $1.75 trillion (€1.5trn) and aiming to raise approximately $75 billion (€64.5bn) in fresh capital.

The company is expected to trade under the symbol SPCX.

SpaceX has reportedly earmarked as much as 30% of its offering for retail investors, a rare move for a blockbuster IPO that is typically dominated by institutional buyers.

The standard retail allocation in most large offerings sits between 5% and 10%, making SpaceX's approach a meaningful structural shift.
